MANCHESTER, Sept THE Guardians COM
mercal article says: THE market was gener-
ally firm. Sellers have tried to improve their
position. but have not been successful. A notion
is prevailing that prices have fallen low enough,
and that the demand actually existing or IN
prospect is sufficient to give a stronger appear
ance to the market than has been shown FOR
some time. The inquiry for India staples is fair
and rather increasing, but offers continue low,
and a large proportion of them are infeaslble.
The number of orders has not leSsened. China
merchants have some business on hand, but
often at lower rates than were recently ac
cepted, and these are not reachable. BUSINESS,
therefore, is poor. There is more inquiry for
the home trade, although quietness prevails.
Inquiry for export yarns is poor. small mis-
cellaneous business is done and prices are steady.
Although spinners would be pleased to extend
their sales at current rates, they are not willing
to make concessions. Home manufacturers
have bought moderately. Cloth is firm. Sellers
are not making the progress they desire Inc
demand for shirtingS has expanded, but sales
do not increase. Manufacturers are not inclined
to listen to low offers. Best printers are firm.
Some fair sales have been made. Sales of me-
dno 0yv hnua hpan moderate ~
qury for heavy goods is slow"

Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
''The general tendency of the cotton contract
market has been toward an easier tone, the local
element showing no inclination to bid and Ill
many cases rather disposed to sell. There was
nothing particularly new on the average run of
crop reports, except more favorable estimate
for the Atlantic States, but the heavy run OF
port receipts seemed to carry more or less dis
couraging influence. very fair balance, how
ever, was found in quite run of Liverpool buy
ing orders and these, no doubt prevented
serious break AT the close the feeling was easy
at shading of l@3 points below last evening.
Immediate supplies of old spot cotton are firmer,
but new is Offering to arrive at some reduction
in cost landed on the pier"

CHICAGO, Sept. Wheat was quiet and steady
during most of the session, but just before the
close of the morning session the market de-
veloped into weakness and became very heavy.
This weakness was attributed TO local selling,
possibly of long wheat, operators having be-
come tired of holding on for an advance Out.
side business was light. Liverpool was reported
quiet and steady, except for California, which
were also unfavorable. October opened at 705sc
advanced to T11sc partially in sympathy with
corn. eased off to 7011c, and on the afternoon
board closed at 7014c. Corn opened at last
night s figures and the first turn was FOR better
prices, which were wiped out before noon by a
decline from the highest point of 34c. October
started at 41s4c, went up to 411s042c, and then
down 10 4i19c, from which point there was a
rally, very slow, however. May opened firm
